Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 281

Chapter 281: Detoxification

Sylas' gaze regained focus as those memories returned to him.

'An eye and a pinecone? Those are both ancient depictions of olden Egypt and their empire.

But...'

Sylas closed his eyes and his visualization seemed to thrum with life. He returned to that day in his memories as though that very same pinboard was sitting right before him.

This time, he didn't just pull the strings horizontally, but also upward as well. Because this was only a memory and not real life, he was able to force the strings to stay in place, and suddenly, the eye and the pinecone became a very recognizable shape.

It was a bit blurry, and the edges weren't very defined considering these were the pathways inside the structure and not the structure itself... But Sylas was still certain.

It was a pyramid.

'The Mountain of Giza? Was it referring to a pyramid?'

What Sylas didn't know was that during the era of the Sixth Summoning, there was a pyramid known as the Pyramid of Giza. However, with the collapse of governments as they were previously known, and with the attempt to wipe away all previous cultures and force Earth into a state of oneness and unity, such history was not passed down... at least not in such detail.

If Sylas had known this, he would have realized what these things were referring to.

Unfortunately, he had not the slightest clue.

The only reason he recognized the Udjat eye and the pinecone, which symbolized the Tree of Life, was because at least some lingering parts of this story remained. After all, Sylas did know that the United Coalition of Terranova was once the United States of America, so there were some things about the old order that he did know.

But this only made him more confused.

Why was Legacy so obsessed with it?

Sylas' eyes narrowed. It seemed that he would have to find the truth out in the future. Only this way would he be able to settle this down.

They used him to further their ends? In that case, they shouldn't blame him for taking advantage of them as well.

Back then, he was only nine years old and while he was intelligent, he didn't have the maturity to match it.

Now... he wasn't so easy to take advantage of.

However, he could do nothing in his current state.

"Let's go," Sylas weakly called out to the Basilisk King. He tried to summon the Dire Wolf, but his expression sank when he failed.

[Mount <Dire Wolf (F-)> is in critical condition. Cannot be summoned]

It wasn't long before Sylas realized that this wasn't because it was injured, but because he hadn't fed it.
